Recently we had an opportunity to stay at the Adam’s Mark Hotel and CoCo Key Water Park in Kansas City during my boys’ spring break. It’s about a 4-hour drive from St Louis right off Interstate 70, directly across the highway from the Royals’ and Chiefs’ stadiums. It’s affordable family fun that gets you out of town in a few hours.

We arrived at the Adam’s Mark Hotel the lobby area was updated and inviting. Our room was clean and simple no-frills accommodations. The outside of the hotel could use some updating, the good news is they currently have plans in place for an outside renovation. All my boys could think about was getting to the waterpark.

CoCo Key Water Park

According to my boys, CoCo Key Water Park was amazing! Some hotels pools may have a slide or two, but never a full-fledged water park. Even if you are not staying at the hotel you can still go to the water park. It was a perfect fit for both of my boys, who are 7 and 3. Logan, my oldest, was tall enough to ride all the slides. CoCo Key also features a lazy river, splash area and lily pad adventure for little ones, and even basketball goals. There were some local residents who were having their birthday party at CoCo Key. There are cabanas along the side of the pools for rent and a restaurant for food and drinks. No outside food is allowed.

The hotel has a huge arcade. In addition, they host several activities throughout the day, such as movie night, dance parties, face painting and appearances from CoCo the Bird.

Logan’s favorite was: The big slides
Mason’s favorite was: The little kid slides
Mom’s favorite was: The boys slept like rocks after spending most of the day there.

The weather was not so great when we were in Kansas City but it didn’t matter because Coco Key was inside and heated. It was a fun place to stay for my kiddos while in Kansas City for the weekend that doesn’t break the bank. My boy’s keep asking when we are going back. If you are needing a quick fun and affordable family getaway, Coco Key will have you kids smiling the entire visit.
